BXBX NOVEL Chapter 297: Suspecting One’s Own Mother?
After an uncertain period, Lu Lingche regained his voice, “Let her go and report to the hospital that she accepted a bribe. Destroy her medical career.”
“Yes.”
Shortly afterwards, the doctor was led onto the car and taken away.
In the dark night, only Lu Lingche and his assistant remained. He asked calmly, “Where is my mother?”
“She is at your villa, waiting for you. She said she has something to tell you.”
“Let’s go back then.”
About ten minutes later, Lu Lingche arrived home.
In the living room, Madam Lu was sitting on the sofa, with two of her bodyguards standing nearby.
One of them bore a scar on his neck – Jing.
Upon seeing him return, Madam Lu anxiously asked, “Lingche, you’ve verified with Qiao Yin, right? What happened? Did I not lie to you? She wanted to abort the baby on her own, didn’t she?”
Lu Lingche looked at her indifferently: “Why did you bribe the doctor treating Qiao Yin?”
“What…bribing a doctor?”
“Do you want me to bring the doctor face-to-face with you?”
Madam Lu’s expression momentarily became rigid, but she quickly recovered and pretended as if nothing happened, “Yes, I did bribe the doctor. Wasn’t I just afraid that the news would spread unfavorably? I did it all for your reputation, so I had the doctor conceal Qiao Yin’s pregnancy.”
“For my reputation?”
There was a scornful look in Lu Lingche’s eyes. “You kept me in the dark about Qiao Yin’s pregnancy so that you could arrange her abortion, right? Wait until the baby is gone, then tell me she was pregnant and that you gave her five million. Why didn’t you say when the baby was still there?”
The color on Madam Lu’s face changed drastically.
Her voice became harsher, “Are you blaming me? I’m your mother. How could you suspect me? I’ve already said Qiao Yin didn’t want the baby herself. She even threatened me. If I didn’t give her money, she would have the baby and claim a share of the Lu Family’s fortune! You’ve heard the recording, right?” “Do you think I’m as stupid as you? Do you think I wouldn’t recognize spliced together recordings?”
“What? You call me stupid? I see that you are the stupid one! Twisted around Qiao Yin’s finger and now arguing with me, your own mother. You should be berating Qiao Yin, not me! She is the vile and despicable one. Right after having a miscarriage she tried to extort me. Such woman is not fit to bear a child for the Lu Family!”
“Yes, she is vile and despicable, but you are no better, you are even more so, scheming with her to abort my child, and even bribed the doctor to keep quiet about her pregnancy. Measuring in cunningness and means, you’re beyond comparison!”
Madam Lu’s face displayed both shock and rage. Furious, she rose from the sofa!
She raised her hand to slap him, but Lu Lingche grabbed her wrist.
“Let go! You unfilial son, how dare you insult me. Today, unless I teach you a good lesson, you’re not going to know your own surname!”
“When I was young, you hit me because I was weak and couldn’t resist. Now you still want to hit me? You’re dreaming!”
Gazing at Madam Lu’s wrist, his violent emotion came to the surface, “Qiao Yin’s right hand has been put in a splint and bandage. She has fractured it. Who did it?”
Madam Lu was furious beyond measure: “How would I know? Are you implying that you’ll break my wrist too?!”
“When I went to see her last night, her wrist was fine. But today, right after the miscarriage, it was fractured. I bet it’s because she refused to have an abortion, and your bodyguard beat her up.”
“Nonsense! What does it have to do with my bodyguard? She had the abortion all by herself and injured her own wrist! Have you lost your mind? Are you blaming your own mother?”
Lu Lingche stared coldly at her: “She’s a doctor. Her grandmother isn’t well and needs her constant acupuncture treatments.. How stupid would she need to be to break her own right wrist and ruin her budding medical career? Or, do you actually believe that I’m stupid enough to believe such nonsense?”
